Jeffrey McDonald was convicted of killing his wife and children. They were brutalized while Jeff, a Green Beret doctor, came out of it with minor injuries. His story: 3 men and one woman, the woman wearing a floppy hat, broke in and butchered his family. There was no real sign of a struggle (gee, all that Green Beret training came in handy), fibers from McDonald’s clothes were found all over the bodies and while McDonald claimed the bodies hadn’t been moved, blood spatters from the wife and kids were found all over the place? How and why? Jeff has no idea because he’d been knocked out. Oh, and the intruders were hippies who chanted “Acid is groovy” and “ Kill the pigs” the whole time.

Right. He was convicted, and along comes Errol Morris, director of “The Thin Blue Line”. He’s determined that McDonald must be innocent because two new witnesses have come forward, one of them a woman who liked to wear a floppy hat and another a US Marshall. Except, both of them were determined to be lying through their teeth. Why? Who knows because Errol doesn’t ask or seem to care.

So you’ve just sat through six hours of filler to learn that this mini-series presents nothing new, let alone exonerate McDonald. The end is Errol being interviewed, during which he is asked if he believes McDonald is innocent. His answer: I don’t know. Really? Dude, did you watch your own documentary?

Click-bait cinema and a complete waste of time. Idiotic.

Save yourself some time and money. There's nothing new here.
